Hundreds arrested at London protest against Palestine Action ban

London’s Metropolitan Police have said on X that “The operation in Parliament Square continues.”
They reported that, as of 6pm (5pm GMT), 365 people had been arrested for supporting a proscribed organisation.

The group in question is Palestine Action, which Parliament banned last month over an alleged protest that damaged two UK military aircraft.

Thousands of demonstrators had gathered in Parliament Square to oppose the ban, express solidarity with Palestine, and defend free speech rights.
